Northern England
Above the Midlands
Northern England is the region comprising roughly the upper third of England, generally including Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, and the counties north to the Scottish border.
The area is associated with industrial heritage, distinct accents, and cultural identity often contrasted with the more affluent South: She moved from London to Northern England for work.
Also called "the North."
